P90X (NOVEMBER 1) - BRING IT
Replies
-
About all I can say about today's workout is that I plugged away at it the whole 90 minutes and did my best.
That's all this program asks of you ... is to do your best. I suspect that it's flexibility that is at issue here. I am SO INFLEXIBLE and while I have professed to love Yoga X I do find it super challenging and I do watch the clock quite a bit more during that DVD then others, I find. I think that the exercise really is with patience in doing the exercise.
How many calories are you burning during it? Do you use Yoga blocks to help open up the poses?0 -
Okay I have a question for those doing the Lean (and all actually). Sunday it's supposed to rain and my boxing gym will be closed so I can't hike. I want to do SOME sort of cardio on Sunday before Legs/Back ARX. I am thinking of throwing Cardio X in ...
What say you, my P90X brethren ?0 -
I have not been following their nutrition guide, but logging my food here on MFP. My husband and I both feel like we have been hungrier since starting p90x. I sometimes wonder if that is why I never lose much weight doing p90x, because I end up eating more. The scale has not budged, but I feel tighter in my mid-section, and I am getting stronger, too. But honestly, I kinda hope I see a loss of something when I WI this weekend. I don't want to get discouraged if the scale doesn't move!
To the person who asked about doing cardio, I try to go for a 3 mile run 2-3 times a week. I am on maternity leave, so I have more time to do that, when I go back to work in a couple weeks, I will go walking at my breaks, but probably run less.
Karen- I would go for it, if you think your legs will be okay for legs/back, after it.0 -

I should be okay since I typically do a Hike / Run before I do the weight/resistance on the P90X .. I just can't seem to do without my cardio LOL0 -

Yes, I use Yoga blocks, which helps. It is most definitely the flexibility which is the issue. Hopefully a self correcting problem, lol.
I burned 300 cals this week and 400 cals last week. After subtracting "normal activity" cals.Okay I have a question for those doing the Lean (and all actually).

Well, for me, the Legs/Back workout is also a cardio workout. I love that DVD. For example, last week I burned 900 cals on that alone, plus 100 for the Ab Rip X. So, for me, the answer would be no...don't need even more on that day, lol.
I have been thinking about doing some cardio on other light days though.0 -
I burned 552 last week on Legs/Back. I supposed I could do that first then see where my calorie burn is and throw in Cardio X if it's not that much.0

I say go for the Cardio X but I haven't looked at it yet to see how it is.... I do know that TH says if Plyo is too much to substitute Cardio X -- so it can't be "that" bad! Another option would be to do the JM Blast Fat or you could just dance, dance ,dance your *kitten* off!0

Whatever I do I am going to have to figure out how to modify for my new tattoo on my right forearm LOL so the BF is kinda out.
I think Saturday morning I am going to do Yoga first and blow off cardio till later and do a DVD Saturday night. I have to be at my friends house at 12:45 and want to make sure to get yoga in before the tatoo0 -
I did it based on the measurements on Beachbody.com, but I think it didn't save there because it wanted my cholesterol numbers, and at the time I didn't have that information. It wouldn't save without all of the info. So now I think I am out of luck with starting measurements...
Mine saved on that site with no cholesterol or blood pressure info.
Mine wouldn't the first day I tried it. Now, it let me save. Which doesn't help me very much since I lost the paper with all of the info on it. :laugh: Oh well. I only remember the waist and hip measurements off the top of my head, so I'll just do the rest again today and use that as my guideline for the rest of the workout. The good news is that now I know I have good cholesterol!0 -
P90X Lean Day 18: Yoga X
I'm trying to stay positive about ALL the workouts. For most of them it's pretty easy. When I get done, I feel like I accomplished something. I can see how I did better than last time with more reps and/or heavier weights, higher avg BPM, etc. Except for Yoga X
I endure Yoga X, not enjoy. I feel relieved it's over and done with instead of satisfied that I completed it. I feel frustrated through most of the 90 minutes.
About all I can say about today's workout is that I plugged away at it the whole 90 minutes and did my best.
I did Yoga X today too (this is my first time, I am only on Day 4 of classic) and I sucked at it...big time. I struggled through it because my sinuses are raging and when I leaned over the first time I about died from the pain of the sinus pressure. I did the best I could with it though. I am hoping that the next time through it goes better. I hope that I only struggled through it today because of my sinuses. I feel your pain on the frustration part!0 -

Yesterday I did complete day 17 arms and back along with AB Ripper X. I managed to up most of the weights to 10 pounds except for triceps which had to stay at 5 pounds.
Karen - Cardio X is a combo of the other moves taking about 10 min each of Yoga, Core, Plyo and Kenpo. I like it but that may be because it's only 43 min...
I guess I better get moving on today's Yoga (*grumbles*)... If I don't start soon, I'll never get it done.0 -

Oh okay ... that's cool Then yeah I may do that on Sunday instead of running/hiking. I will check out how many calories I burn doing the scheduled workout first though. Thanks for letting me know what's on it!
anyone done the Core Synergistics0 -

Welcome -- I hope you LOVE this program as much as I (and others here do). As with anything new, there will be some things that you will be better at than others but we all start somewhere... and if you follow the program and "do your best" then you will see improvements and you will feel better and know you are getting stronger.
@Kaffro: Yoga was by far the most difficult for me -- especially the first half the first week... being sore etc. Karen said it best -- its about having the patience to do the exercises.... and that is soooo true.... we have become creatures of instant gratification and Yoga is the complete opposit0 -
Third times a charm. I actually enjoyed Yoga today!!! I took someone's suggestion for mood and turned the lights to low. Being more familiar with the routine allowed me to relax more. Next week wont be so bad with Yoga twice during the recovery week. 18 days down...0

Maybe I will try making it a bit darker to relax me, thanks for mentioning that!@Kaffro: Yoga was by far the most difficult for me -- especially the first half the first week... being sore etc. Karen said it best -- its about having the patience to do the exercises.... and that is soooo true.... we have become creatures of instant gratification and Yoga is the complete opposit
I refuse to give up! The pain/pressure in my head was just making me miserable, and when I bent over I thought my head was going to explode. I had taken some sinus meds that clearly don't help with pressure and pain as noted on the box. Blah, dumb sinuses!0 -
Yoga done. I got some pretty sad news today, found out my grandfather died this morning. If it had been any other day besides yoga day, I probably would've skipped the workout, but I thought maybe yoga would help even me out a little. I admit I was crying through the first 20 minutes or so, but then my mind did calm and I was really happy I pushed play.
On a sillier note, isn't it exciting to see the 'days left' on our tickers go down? (for those of us who have indulged in tickers)0 -
Sorry about your grampa It was probably a good day to do yoga for sure! Glad you were able to find center.
I finished Plyo today ... Day 2 of Week 3. I can hardly believe it. Almost started without my knee brace and that would have been BAD. So I paused and got it. I am doing much better with all the exercises and I can't wait for tomorrows arms/shoulders I think I will be upping my weights. I really should have gotten a 15lb weight too. I think next pay I will invest in a pair.
I am thrilled to see my ticker count down it's fun! 0 -
Yoga X tonight and I still don't love it, sorry. I did the first and last 30 minutes. Then did 20 minutes of Insanity for the calorie burn. Halfway through week 3! Woo hoo!0
-
DId do half of Yoga X yesterday...but right at he end of the moving poses...(the standing triangle pose) my knee popped. I tried to go on for a bit, but it was hurting so I stopped the dvd and thought I'd complete it last night after I returned home. As the day went on...my knee swelled up...so I'm not sure what I will do today with legs and back being on the schedule. If I do it, I will have to modify I'm sure.0

mcjabber, so sorry for your loss.0

When I completed my first round of P90x I hated Yoga X after the first 2weeks. So...instead of doing Yoga X I did Cardio X or Core Synergistics instead. I love those 2 workouts and I can always use more cardio anyway so maybe that's an option for you too!0
-
anyone done the Core Synergistics
Core Synergistics is one of my favorite P90x workouts. It's a great workout and I actually think it's FUN! Makes you workup quite a sweat...which is always fabulous
I build muscle very quickly and start to look "bulky" so my favorite workouts are: Core Syn, Cardio X, Kenpo, and Plyo!0 -
P90X Lean Day 19: Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X
I love the Legs & Back workout. Burned ~750 cals with that this morning plus ~100 cals with the Ab ripper X. Used more weight and more reps this week than last week. Interestingly, my calorie burn was less this week than last.0 -
I'm feeling pretty stupid right now...
How do I post my Exercise TIcker? I've created one but don't know where to put it into my signature.
Tech...iliterate!0 -
Courtney - very sorry to hear about your grandfather:flowerforyou:
Day 19 done with legs/back and ab ripper X. I love and hate that pull up bar - using both legs, I did at least 10 for all rounds and my arms were shaking. I also noticed I'm going lower with the squats.
Deb - sorry about your knee. Make sure to ice it. :flowerforyou: If you do the workout today - make sure to modify and don't try to be the Super Woman I know you are!!! ((((HUGS))))...0 -

See above where it says signature, click on that and copy and paste it there. Also, not sure which one you used but the one I used, you have to go to the website daily to change the number, I thought it would do it automatically but it doesn't. HTH!0 -
Joining in on the P90x fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in week four, Day 25.
Before I walk out of my apartment each morning, I try to do a pull up on the pull-up bar in doorway of my bedroom. Today, I did ONE! Not a weak, get half-way and struggle kind of pull up, a full-blown super-strong one. Okay, so I know it's not 20 like Tony can do, but I'm pretty sure I let out a little yell of excitement at the top.
Yay, for results. I'll take all the small wins along the way that I can get!
Maybe tomorrow, I'll try for TWO!?0 -
P90X Classic, day 5 - Legs & Back and ARX
I am getting so much better with the ARX stuff, thank goodness!
I am glad to read that I am not the only one not digging the Yoga. I am going to attempt it again though and perhaps switch to something else if it doesn't work out for me.0
